Job Description
West Lothian College Board of Governors
Non-Executive Member Vacancy
Do you have enthusiasm and an appetite to keep learning?
Do you want to extend your professional network and enhance your leadership skills?
Do you want to use your skills and experience to help people become the best that they can be?
If you answered ‘Yes’ to any of these questions then West Lothian College Board of Governors would love to hear from you.
We are currently recruiting a new voluntary non-executive Board Member to take up appointment from January 2025. Our Board includes members with a range of skills and expertise in the public, private and voluntary sectors as well as elected student, staff and trade union representatives.
We are looking to recruit a new board member who can complement and extend the skills matrix of the current Board. We also want to increase board diversity by attracting new members from across diverse communities.
The successful candidate will sit on the Finance and General Purposes Committee and will have expertise in finance and, ideally, will have an education sector background.
The successful candidate will be part of a team of twenty members, working together to ensure that West Lothian College delivers the best learning experience for the growing number of young people and adult learners in the region.
You may never have considered a board position before, but your experience may be invaluable. Public sector boards are keen to increase the diversity of their non-executive directors and this may be a great opportunity for you.
